Abstract

University of New South Wales Art Collection has grown over the years by commission, acquisition and especially gift to consist of several hundred works of art in a variety of media: paintings, sculptures, works on paper and ceramics, mainly covering Australian art from 1950 to the present. The works in this exhibition are diverse. But collecting is rarely a matter of assembling identical or equivalent things. Which speaks to the University's interests but from an independent perspective; which can be displayed in offices and foyers and appeal directly to the concerns of students, staff and visitors, but which also amounts to a whole possessing aesthetic and intellectual integrity.
